Hi!

So, I was hoping someone here knows about Onshape, and how they seem to compare to other 3D-CAD programs.

My reason for asking is that I am studying 3D-printing and design at the moment, and through the school we get access to Solidworks, but after I graduate I might want to look at other software, given that Solidworks is really expensive. So I am thinking either Fusion 360, or Onshape. I have heard cool things about Onshape, but I really know too little about it, so any feedback is welcome.

I guess my question really is: Is it worth investing the time learning it, or is Fusion 360 the better choice?

Thanks!
